On May 16, 2022, he reached the summit of Mt. Everest (8,848.86 m). Titled ‘Raju Lama Everest Expedition, the climb was to raise awareness about climate change and impacts of global warming. He also called for the reduction of carbon emissions and how it’s directly affecting the lives of people living in the mountains. As a part of this expedition, he also performed a solo concert ‘Music for a Cause’ between Camp 2 and Camp 3 at 6574m, which was probably the highest performance on the land ever.
